top-posting to mailing lists is poor form. Anyhow, you should see a tar running if it's an actual speed problem. I'd suggest setting up amanda to backup over SSH. That gets rid of all weird inetd and user mismatch problems. I have hosts that I just could not get to work with inetd/bsd backups, and switching to SSH got rid of all those problems.
